Count your blessings...

Instead of the usual weekend post, I wanted to share some devastating news. I'm sorry to be gloom & doom on the blog ...that's normally not the theme around these parts.

My brother's home for the last 10 years was burned to the ground on Saturday evening, along with about 110 other homes in his condominium complex. Miraculously, no injuries were reported. Everyone was able to escape to safety, except many precious pets.

Here is a photo from a nearby road.

The next day. 110 homes in 26 buildings ...nothing but ashes.

Please join me in keeping the residents of these homes in your prayers as they begin their long road to recovery!

Oh, I can't find the right words - BUT want to wish your brother the best and enough strongness for the hard time. It sometimes REALLY seems to be at the end, but then a little or x-small light glimmer/glint of hope and luck RETURN!

All the best to all of the families and people who loose their homes at this dramatic place! - Hope and luck to all of them!

Megan, do you know what caused the fire? I live in a condo and it's one of my biggest worries, fire traveling from unit to unit uncontrollably...Regardless I wish your brother (& all of his neighbors) peace and patience in the coming weeks.

This is terrible. Do they know what caused the fire? So very unfortunate, but so amazing that not one person in those 110 homes was hurt. That's a blessing. My prayers go out to the families as they rebuild and recover. www.styleoyster.blogspot.com

Fire is so devastating, but how miraculous that no one was killed (minus the pets, that's extremely sad). One of my pet peeves, especially on Mondays, is when people complain, complain, complain their morning away on FB. They could have it so much worse than having to just go to work, raise a baby, etc. We do need to count our blessings!

This is so horrible! I would gladly lose all of my possessions in place of my cat - she's been my bff for 5 years! Best of luck to these families, I can't believe how many condos were affected! I'm sure/hope the community will do a lot to help them.
